Someone might respond, but I think that's a bit too complex with a myriad of answers to address on a bulletin board. Why don't you take a short vacation and come to Marathon and just meet some people. Hang out at the Brass Monkey Bar (no tourists usually) and just ask around. Lots of the people that hang out there live on boats, and for lots of different reasons. Just remember that choosing to live on a boat is generally NOT because it's a low class necessity - usually it's a definite choice because the people that do it prefer that lifestyle to living ashore on concrete slabs. I'm living in a house right now (will be back on the boat shortly), but for me it's both the independence in every respect, and also the constant motion of the boat, even at anchor or in a slip - my wife likes that part too. and if we don't like the neighborhood we can always move. Plus when we do want to explore and cruise our house goes with us so it's very comfortable.
